Tech Mahindra Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of Tech Mahindra Limited, a Mahindra Group Company. With a vision of 'empowerment through education', the core agenda of the Foundation are its impactful programmes in school education, employability and at the same time promoting inclusivity for persons with disabilities. It carries out the day-to-day functions from its New Delhi-based corporate office and 11 other cities spread across India. These programmes are executed through specific initiatives that facilitate the process of achieving the larger goal. All Round Improvement in School Education (ARISE and ARISE+), In-Service Teacher Training Institutes under the aegis of Shikshaantar, and Skills for Market Training (SMART and SMART+) are the vehicles driving the core agenda. It works with children and youth from urban, disadvantaged communities in India to help them educate and train through the programmes to get jobs based on their acquired skills. The core beliefs that are the cornerstones of Tech Mahindra Foundation's success: Accepting No Limits and ask the same of everyone else. In return, work relentlessly to provide the tools, information, and inspiration to push past limitations and comfort zones. Alternative Thinking means solving problems in ways no one thought of before, by using fewer resources and entering markets thought to be unreachable. Driving Positive Change implies everyone to rise. And not just any one. Your family. Your neighborhood. Your whole community. This is why we come to work every day. The Foundation has expanded its operations in 11 major Indian cities.
